Got thinking again the other day (always expensive)

Never been a lover of coilover shocks, so designed them out of this one

Got a load of torsion springs to play with 8D

Shocks need replacing - Need some TB-01 ones I reckon

Went for behind-the-axle steering on it, something I've been meaning to do for a while now - lower links and servo horn were a bit of an issue, but sorted them reasonably well

Big thanks to Fastboy for the shock mounts and turned bits, and Wijnand/Alu-cutter for the chassis plate and radio deck, axle braces, and over night Holland-UK shipping!

Been meaning to do this for a long time, getting there now.
Spent a good 3 hours last nite messing about with shocks, internal spacings, different lengths, just about fried me noggin

Need to find a pretty way to capture the spring ends instead of the cable ties, but it has to be free-floating, a clamp rotates the link too much
